I agree, it should. Is that happening? Apparently not, 12 deaths this year and who knows how many near misses and injuries. Isn\u2019t that what the industry is doing now, policing itself? Apparently not, OSHA is policing the industry. Shouldn\u2019t part of the responsibility fall on the carriers and the customers? I would think so but when something happens no one really investigates the end-user or the tower\/monopole\/water tank owners. Maybe the tower owners who say they are going the extra mile to make sure their towers are safe, but when an accident happens they are not looked at either. Apparently it is up to the climbers to police themselves. Some tower crews do an outstanding job while others don\u2019t. That\u2019s the way it is. OSHA is doing all they can. The FCC is helping. PCIA is setting training standards. Vocational schools are starting classes. The FCC and DOL got together to create<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.doleta.gov\/oa\/pdf\/TIRAP.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">TIRAP<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, <span style=\"color: #000000;\">a voluntary program defining an<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/doleta.gov\/oa\/bul14\/bulletin_2014-21\/certification_page.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">apprenticeship program<\/a><\/span><\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">to follow. I think it\u2019s a great idea, setting a standard for all to follow. You know, like the voluntary wearing of seatbelts. I mean, did they really need to pass a law to make people wear seatbelts? Oh, right, yes, a law was passed because no one cared about wearing a seatbelt until it was a law and the police could pull you over for that reason. Did drivers police themselves in that case, no, and it didn\u2019t cost near the money that tower climbing safety training and gear does.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><a style=\"color: #008000;\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/wade4wireless-blogcast\/id884500168?mt=2&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4\" target=\"_blank\">Please support the podcast and write a review on iTunes!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Wade4Wireless on iTunes\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/wade4wireless-blogcast\/id884500168?mt=2&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1263\" src=\"http:\/\/wade4wireless.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/subscribe-in-itunes.jpg?resize=68%2C79\" alt=\"subscribe in iTunes\" width=\"68\" height=\"79\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <a title=\"Stitcher\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/podcast\/wade4wireless?refid=stpr\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1264\" src=\"http:\/\/wade4wireless.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/subscribe-with-stitcher.jpg?w=256&#038;resize=129%2C58\" alt=\"subscribe with Stitcher\" width=\"129\" height=\"58\" \/><\/a> <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How many people have to die before there is more intervention? Apparently more than 12 a year. Listen, no one wants anyone to die or get hurt. We really want everyone to be safe. I know that equipment fails and accidents happen and that will continue to happen. I would like to think that we are doing everything we can to be safe. However, I still hear about the horror stories of the industry where companies will initially get everyone trained until they get all the contracts from the carriers or turf vendors. Most companies start with good intentions. Then to save money they do on the job training (OJT) and skip the formal training. So is this the way we are going? Saving money by doing the minimal amount to get by? No first aid or CPR or ongoing rescue training, just the bare essentials to get approvals and then just hire whomever to make more money. This is where they should have in-house training so they can tailor the safety program, but so often this can be corrupt as well. In house programs can be great, I have seen some awesome trainers but by the same token I have seen companies pull the plug on the in-house program because of time and money. This is why<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.doleta.gov\/oa\/pdf\/TIRAP.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">TIRAP<\/a><\/span><\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">was set up, to set the standards for training, OJT, and apprenticeship as to prepare the new climbers for the career ahead of them. It costs time and money, two things that the climbing companies have a hard time getting. Look at MasTech, they trained a whole group of people only to have AT&amp;T pull the plug and force MasTech to lay them off. Who do you hold responsible for that debacle?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/wadesarver.com\/products-wade4wireless\/\" target=\"_blank\">Deployment and tower climbing digital products to help with your needs.<\/a><\/span><\/strong> If you are starting out I have an <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/wadesarver.com\/tower-climbing-introduction\/\" target=\"_blank\">eBook or Audiobook, Tower Climbing: An Introduction<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and\u00a0<strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/wadesarver.com\/field-workers-aid-tower-site-work\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Field Worker&#8217;s Aid for Tower Site Work.<\/a><\/span><\/strong> Learn and understand the <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/wadesarver.com\/scope-work-training\/\" target=\"_blank\">SOW and how it can help you get paid or at least take the customer to court go ahead and order my SOW Training files<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. <span style=\"color: #008000;\">Go ahead and share the information!

There will be so much work coming up in the next 3 to 6 years. Much engineering work has been automated but crews are still needed to hang equipment on towers, poles, monopoles, and water tanks. Wouldn\u2019t it be nice if we trained people properly and if they got the ongoing training they needed? Would it be great if they got paid for the work that they did? Getting paid is part of safety because safety is not cheap, training and safety gear costs money. If you don\u2019t get paid you may have to cut back. Who is monitoring the payments to the contractors? It doesn\u2019t appear to be the end customer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So is the industry policing itself? In some cases, yes. There are business owners that run the company like they care. They train and they support their workers. They fire customers that don\u2019t care about safety and put the schedule ahead of a life. They select who they wish to work with and for. They take the time to show that the business of safety and training is a culture, not an annoying practice to follow because the customer told you to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I know many climbers and foreman and project managers that care, they know that a life is valuable. I also am hearing about more and more that don\u2019t care because they have a schedule to keep. Everyone looks at an accident to see how to prevent it, but who is looking at the industry to make sure it\u2019s policing itself? It should be every climber out there who has a foreman or PM that asks you to put the job ahead of their life. The reality is that a select few, (some climbers, some crew owners), and OSHA. They are trying to prevent this from happening in the first place. The FCC is assisting. The problem with relying on the government entities is that they are overwhelmed and understaffed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So I would like to ask Verizon Wireless, AT&amp;T Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile to put safety and site audits in their budgets for the upcoming growth. They really not only need to be following up on the contractors and the Turf vendors but dropping in to see the work happening unannounced. They should be talking to random installer during and after the installations to check the pulse of the industry. That is something they could do to make sure the GCs are doing their job. They should be hiring trained and competent crews. They should also follow-up to see that those crew are getting paid! I think that is why AT&amp;T wanted to deploy with someone like MasTech, my opinion only! I believe AT&amp;T would like to see the industry improve. I also think that Verizon Wireless really wants to make sure the deployments are safe and paid for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">By the way, do you know why people don\u2019t stay in wireless? It is usually because of the business practices and getting paid. It is so hard to stay involved in this business. People that stay in wireless do it because it is a passion. How does the industry reward them? By torturing them with horrible schedules, low pay and poor business practices. For instance, if you get hurt on a job, you may not get paid because they will bring someone else into complete it. So you are injured, out of work, not getting paid, and the customer just moves on, status quo, business as usual. Meanwhile, the hurt climber and their family are left alone to deal with the legal issues that ensue. Who is there for them?<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hubblefoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hubble Foundation<\/a><\/span><\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">and that\u2019s about it outside of friends and family.
